Idea Cellular has tied up with the world’s largest handset maker, Nokia, to offer the N96 smartphone, considered the biggest competition to the Apple iPhone. The dual-slide handset will be available on Idea networks from September.
This will offer consumers the combined advantage of easy-to-use devices with an enhanced experience in Internet services, content and browsing on Idea's high speed 2.75G Edge networks across the country, a press release issued in Mumbai said.
The company also plans to introduce several attractive offers and innovative tariff plans on various devices, starting with the N96, in early September, targeted at a varied cross-section of customers, the release said.
N96 comes with 16 GB storage space, which can be expanded to 24GB. This memory allows the user to store up to 18,000 songs, over 20,000 images at 5 mega pixel, 20 full-length movies or nearly 60 hours of video. It has a 2.8 inch screen and comes preloaded with ‘Wave Secure’ security application which allows consumers not only to track the phone if it is stolen or lost but also create a back-up through the Internet.
“We are pleased to partner with Nokia in leading the industry to bring customers a complete suite of Idea communications, browsing, content and Internet services. This is a logical step for Idea to take, as it will further help augment our customer experience. These high-end Nokia handphones are known worldwide for their versatility and utility,” Idea Cellular MD Sanjeev Aga said. Nokia India vice-president and managing director D Shivakumar said the alliance would offer consumers an option to choose from a wide range services from Idea Cellular on Nokia’s handsets.
